Ice cream is always a favorite summertime treat. I remember my love of ice cream from when I was a little kid. My Grammy used to take my siblings and I to the grocery store, and they had a small 6 flavor ice cream cart. We would all get a scope of the Bubble Gum. …

If you handed your child a coke in front of me, I would totally judge you! If you’re reading this I’m guessing you just reacted with some form of “I’D NEVER!” am I right? I drink soda on occasion, but my husband enjoys a fuzzy beverage pretty regularly. His are some form of diet, so …
